CHAPTER 14:
 
 
Analyzing Mood Swing in the Market
he market is a chaotic place with a number of traders vying for
dominance over one another. There are a countless number of
strategies and time frames in play and at any point, it is close to
impossible to determine who will emerge with the upper hand. In such an
environment, how is it then possible to make any money? After all, if
everything is unpredictable, how can you get your picks right?
Well, this is where thinking in terms of probabilities comes into play. While
you cannot get every single bet right, as long as you get enough right and
make enough money on those to offset your losses, you will make money in
the long run.
It’s not about getting one or two right. It’s about executing the strategy with
the best odds of winning over and over again and ensuring that your math
works out with regards to the relationship between your win rate and
average win.
So, it really comes down to finding patterns which repeat themselves over
time in the markets. What causes these patterns? Well, the other traders of
course! To put it more accurately, the orders that the other traders place in
the market are what creates patterns that repeat themselves over time.
The first step to understanding these patterns is to understand what trends
and ranges are. Identifying them and learning to spot when they transition


into one another will give you a massive leg up not only with your options
trading but also with directional trading.
Trends
In theory spotting a trend is simple enough. Look left to right and if the
price is headed up or down, it’s a trend. Well, sometimes it is really that
simple. However, for the majority of the time you have both with and
counter-trend forces operating in the market. It is possible to have long
counter trend reactions within a larger trend and sometimes, depending on
the time frame you’re in, these counter-trend reactions take up the majority
of your screen space.
Trend vs. Range
This is a chart of the UK100 CFD, which mimics the FTSE 100, on the
four-hour time frame. Three-quarters of the chart is a downtrend and the
last quarter is a wild uptrend. Using the looking left to right guideline, we’d
conclude that this instrument is in a range. Is that really true though?
Just looking at that chart, you can clearly see that short-term momentum is
bullish. So, if you were considering taking a trade on this, would you
implement a range strategy or a trending one? This is exactly the sort of
thing that catches traders up.
The key to deciphering trends is to watch for two things: counter trend
